Applied AI/ML Scientist, Intern - Winter 2027
Faire, San Francisco, CA
The role
Our Applied AI/ML Science team builds and maintains the models that power the marketplace. That work includes the shipping and delivery estimates retailers rely on as they shop and check out: what it will cost to ship and when it will arrive, before the order has been packed. Within Applied Science, our Shipping and Fulfillment team builds the models behind those estimates, including models that learn to understand products from images and text. Better predictions give retailers confidence in what they're buying and, in turn, help brands sell more on Faire.
What you will be doing
You'll own a focused project in one of these areas
- Predicting how an order will be packed: Before an order ships, we have to anticipate how it will be packed. You'll build models that learn from what each item is and how items combine in a cart.
- Recommending better ways to pack: How an order is packed shapes what it costs to ship. You'll develop models that understand items from images and text and learn from historical packing outcomes to recommend packing that reduces shipping cost and improves efficiency.
